Weakened Tennis Team Overcomes West Point by 6-3

The varsity tennis team, although greatly handicapped by General Examinations which kept nine squad members at home with their books, swept to an easy 6 to 3 victory over Army at West Point yesterday.

The Cadets, not generally regarded as a tennis power in Eastern tennis competition, were "up" for today's match, however, since they hoped to take advantage of the Crimson's weakened condition.

But the varsity led by wins at the top by Dale Junta and Captain Brooks Harris at first and second singles respectively, and aided by the doubles power which Coach Jack Barnaby hopes to depend on throughout the season, lost only two singles and one doubles contests.

At third singles Maynard Canfield, normally a fifth singles player, dropped a close encounter, while in the sixth singles slot, sophomore Pete Krogh, up from the fifteenth position, also lost a tight match. The remaining Crimson loss came at third doubles, where Barnaby was forced to throw together a relatively untried combination.

Other wins for the varsity came from Cal Place and Ian Gianetti at fourth and fifth singles and from the first doubles team of Harris and Junta.
